At Cosmetic Dermatology & MediSpa of Newark, New Jersey, we offer microneedling, a minimally invasive treatment designed to rejuvenate your skin by stimulating its natural healing processes. This procedure effectively addresses various skin concerns, promoting a smoother, firmer, and more youthful complexion.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves using a device equipped with fine needles to create tiny, controlled punctures in the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural wound healing response, leading to increased collagen and elastin production—proteins essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. We also offer Microneedling with PRP (platlet rich plasma).
Benefits of Microneedling
- Microneedling can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and large pores, resulting in smoother and more even-toned skin.
- Scar Reduction
The procedure is effective in diminishing the visibility of acne scars and other types of scarring by promoting new skin cell growth. - Enhanced Product Absorption
By creating micro-channels in the skin, microneedling enhances the absorption of topical skincare products, maximizing their efficacy.
Minimal Downtime
As a minimally invasive treatment, microneedling requires little to no downtime, allowing you to resume daily activities shortly after the procedure.
The Microneedling Procedure
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation to assess your skin concerns and determine if microneedling is the appropriate treatment for you.
Preparation
A topical anesthetic is applied to the treatment area to ensure comfort during the procedure.
Treatment
Using a sterile microneedling device, our skilled practitioners create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
Post-Treatment Care
After the procedure, your skin may appear slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn, which usually subsides within a day or two. It’s important to follow post-treatment care instructions, including avoiding direct sun exposure and applying gentle skincare products.
Is Microneedling Right for You?
Microneedling is suitable for most skin types and can address a variety of concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven skin tone
- Stretch marks
However, individuals with certain conditions, such as active skin infections or a history of keloid scars, may not be ideal candidates. A thorough consultation will help determine if microneedling is appropriate for you.
